Meeting Challenges
of the future: from Reflection to Action – Library and Archives

Daniel J. Caron

The future of the institutions responsible for managing the documentary
heritage of nations is assured insofar as such institutions are able to respond
to new demands of the environment. Whether it is a question of defining how and
what to acquire, properly preserving for durability or, very immediately,
responding to the demands of new users in the digital world, we must work in
the context of a changing society. Skills, work processes and a fresh perspective
on the future are the keys to Library and Archives success.
